I always liked the idea of Voltar more than the figure itself. I never had any version of him and the pink uniform does not fit with the Iron Grenadiers in my opinion. So, for my custom, I replaced it with red and kept the black and gold highlights. For the head, I tried using the vintage one and am pleasantly surprised with how it works. I may change it down the road for a cast version, but for now, I quite like it.

Not bad, and as long as you like it that’s what matters.
But I must strongly disagree with pink not fitting with IG. If done right , which 99.9999999% of the customs built don’t, it can be so good it outshines the IG and demands respect.

Nice build. The weird thing is the vintage isn’t really pink. It’s more of a magenta or purpllish type color-so I think this palette is still pretty close

Dag CL, I like that build a lot. And while I agree with Slice about the original pink/magenta, the colors you opted for look really good.

I like the original magenta but I like this too. I usually prefer slightly more saturated/brighter colors because some of the Classified coloration has been a bit too muted IMO but in this case I wouldn't mind a darkening, it looks good.
